RE: C8AX-C cam
By Kevin66 - 04/19/2002 5:41:54 AM; IP 207.102.191.69
In my honest opinion, this was the cam that SHOULD have been in the factory 428CJ's!

Through exhaust manifolds it was faint, but with headers, there was a beautiful, discernible 'lope' at idle, and that great echo.

I never had any problem with the power brakes, and as I recall, we simply set the idle speed up to about 700 in gear. I'm sure a converter would have been a worthwile improvement, but I never got around to it back then.

This cam was very, very strong up through the midrange, pulled well up to 6,000, then signed off. Since it worked perfectly with the stock CJ springs and non-adjustable rockers, I considered it to be a perfect replacement cam, and couldn't figure out why Ford didn't use it once they had it.
This thread, so far...
